“Midsommar”: Unraveling the True Villains in the Sun-Drenched Nightmare
**NOTE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS** Ari Aster's Midsommar is a fever dream of horror and dark psychological exploration, set against the backdrop of a sun-drenched Swedish commune. While the film is filled with ritualistic ceremonies and unsettling imagery, its true horror lies in the twisted dynamics and motivations of its characters. In this thought-provoking review, we'll peel back the layers to uncover the true villains of the story.

The idyllic façade of small towns often conceals hidden mysteries, and Don't Worry Darling takes us on a thrilling journey to uncover the unsettling truths lurking beneath the surface. Directed by Olivia Wilde and featuring a star-studded cast led by Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, and Chris Pine, the film transports us to the fictional 1950s town of Victory, California, where the enigmatic Victory Headquarters hides a web of secrets. As I delve into this enigmatic thriller, I aim to explore its gripping plot, the exceptional performances, and its place in the mystery thriller genre.

What a beautiful short film for the 100th anniversary of Disney. I never thought that 100 years of an iconic studio could be captured in such a short time but this did just that. For many of us, Disney was a core part of our childhood and a very important factor in who we grew up to be.
Hannah ElliottPublished 6 months ago in GeeksThe Nuance of Numbers
On the internet we hear “movies aren’t as good now”, “well when movies were good” and “back when”, now these thoughts are all blatantly untrue because brilliant movies exist everywhere, people are just lazy and won't watch anything not handed directly to them. Often the general public blames writers for the lack of originality in Hollywood. The amount of sequels, remakes and reboots are often cited as to why writers don’t deserve to be paid properly. Especially in the year of the longest and biggest strike in entertainment industry history. What most people don’t realize is that all of those unoriginal movies that you hate are commissioned by studios, and are fulfilled simply by writers trying to feed themselves. You see studios see a movie that was successful, like Ghostbusters and they immediately think audiences want more Ghostbusters instead of seeing that audiences want more friend group comedies. They see no nuance in the numbers.

Anisah SuhailahPublished 6 months ago in GeeksHow “Harry Potter” Became the Gold Standard of Film Series Adaptations
It’s hard not to be a little biased when the first Harry Potter film came out not long after your fifth birthday, but there’s a magic to these films that extends well beyond the wizardry. I can think of no film that’s done more justice to the fantastical world of its source material than the colossal Hogwarts castle and the hallowed grounds around it.

For those who grew up with the Harry Potter movies, they likely see Michael Gambon's face as the apotheosis of warmth and wisdom. Taking over the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore upon the death of the beloved Richard Harris, though, it was no easy task he had before him trying to fill those shoes. Famously, though, Gambon didn't even attempt to. He didn't read the books, and he didn't allow his approach to the character to be tainted by Harris's prior portrayal.

We have officially covered all of the main streaming services. Listing off the best Christmas movies to watch on each one. Unfortunately those lists did not come anywhere close to all of the Christmas movies. It didn’t even come close to containing half the best Christmas movies. No that can only be done through owning DVDs or of course taking a trip to the high seas. Most of these were procured through money but several were given to me by my husband and his internet skills. So here is the list of best Christmas movies to uh…find and watch this holiday season.
